Kurumba Maldives: The Legendary Pioneer of Maldivian Island Luxury
Tucked away on the coconut‑shaded isle of Vihamanaafushi, Kurumba Maldives is more than a resort - it’s the birthplace of Maldivian tourism. Since its founding in 1972, this historic island retreat has set the standard for tropical hospitality. Operated by Universal Resorts, Kurumba balances its storied legacy with vibrant, modern experiences that continue to inspire travelers.
A Shortcut to Paradise
With its prime location just a 10-minute speedboat transfer from the airport, Kurumba greets guests almost immediately with palm-fringed beaches, turquoise lagoons, and welcoming smiles - no long transfers, no waiting.
A Retreat with Legacy
Kurumba’s warm hospitality is shaped by its Maldivian heart. The resort’s ambiance is relaxed yet refined, with lush gardens, classic bungalows, and a lively spirit that’s enriched through community-oriented events and heartfelt service.
Spacious Accommodation for All
From intimate superior rooms and breezy bungalows to beachfront villas, garden pool escapes, and grand multi-bedroom residences, Kurumba offers diverse accommodations tailored to couples, families, and groups - all with elegant design and lush island views.
Culinary Journeys Across Continents
Eight restaurants serve a world tour of flavors, including Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Japanese, and more. Whether dining beachfront under stars or savoring regional delights, every meal becomes a discovery.
Dive, Relax, Repeat
Adventure and relaxation find equal footing here: explore vibrant coral reefs, enjoy watersports and excursions, unwind in the Veli Spa, or join kid-friendly creativity at the Majaa clubs. With lively entertainment and renowned service, there’s always something to enjoy.
A Commitment to Community & Environment
Kurumba’s spirit goes beyond hospitality - it hosts charity events like “Party with a Purpose,” champions conservation through eco‑programs like its recycling center (Kurect), and supports the Maldives community through CSR initiatives.
